Model Overview & Print Notes

I needed a stand for my Molymod and Molymod-compatible organic chemistry model kits, so I made one. The stand was designed to fit Prentice-Hall and compatible single bond pieces, and it does an okay job retaining double bonds--though it allows significant rotation with double bonds. You'll need several stands per molecule. Each stand is roughly 15g at the given print settings, so it's a good way to use up the dregs of your filament rolls.

I printed these with 4 perimeters and a high infill percentage for durability-- if you're going to use these as static stands you can print with much less infill and fewer perimeters.
